Day and night the Accuser makes no pause. Day and night protest the Righteous Laws, Good and Evil witness to man's flaws; Man the culprit, man's the ruined cause, Man midway to death's devouring jaws And the worm that gnaws. Day and night our Jesus makes no pause, Pleads His own fulfilment of all laws, Veils with His Perfections mortal laws, Clears the culprit, pleads the desperate cause. Plucks the dead from death's devouring jaws, And the worm that gnaws. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BLUEFLAGS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BEN KARSHOOK'S WISDOM by ROBERT BROWNING ALMANZOR & ALMAHIDE, OR THE CONQUEST OF GRANADA: PART 2.
